You can make your prompt transient by setting ``fish_transient_prompt`` to 1. That means fish will redraw the prompt before running a commandline, so you can change it then. Usually this is used to trim it down to declutter your terminal's scrollback history. When it runs the prompt again, it will pass a ``--final-rendering`` argument, so check for this to distinguish::
function fish_prompt
if contains -- --final-rendering $argv
set_color F00
echo '$' (set_color normal)
else
set_color purple
date "+%m/%d/%y"
set_color F00
echo (pwd) '>' (set_color normal)
end
end

You can choose among some sample prompts by running ``fish_config`` for a web UI or ``fish_config prompt`` for a simpler version inside your terminal.
